🚨Native voters are at risk of being silenced. Proof of citizenship creates yet another barrier for Native communities—many elders were born traditionally at home & lack birth certificates. Requiring Native voters to prove our citizenship in our ancestral homelands is a complete slap in the face!

Fuck this administration and its blatant disrespect for Native Americans and Native Veterans who serve in the armed forces at FIVE TIMES the national average! And ALL Native Trump supporters (especially those who STILL support him) can eff off too.

so happy Cowboy Carter won AOTY. to blend genres to filth, to tell and RECLAIM an erased history, to uplift Black women… i’m so, so proud as a witness to Beyoncé’s work in this lifetime we get witness her in, as a mother, as a woman who grew up and still loves country music… 💕

💙💙💙💙

Beyoncé is in a league of her own, a stratosphere of her own. If the Grammys can’t recognize that? Well, they never deserved her in the first place. (8/8)

Garth Brooks wasn’t country because he blended styles. So, what even is country? What is pop? What is R&B? These labels are too small for true artists. (Even Morgan Wallen’s new song Smile leans into R&B influences—y’all hear that?) (7/8)

and giving credit where it’s long overdue. Black artists have shaped country music (and many other genres) from the start, but a whitewashed industry loves to erase that history. Beyoncé is reminding us—loudly.

Also, let’s talk about genre-gatekeeping for a second. The industry once said… (6/8)

they break ground, they transform, they shift culture.

And for the people still crying that Cowboy Carter isn’t country—you’re stuck in a box tand you’re a square. The joke’s on you because this album isn’t just about country music; it’s about breaking genres, liberating artists… (5/8)

Beyoncé, like Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Eminem, and Garth Brooks, is both a student AND professor of music and music history. That’s the difference. These artists don’t just make hits—they challenge, they innovate, they take risks… (4/8)

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift—while a skilled lyricist—is an artist in the most traditional sense. She’s mastered her style, but she hasn’t tapped into the full depth of artistry that shifts culture. Her songs are personal, poignant, and well-crafted—but they don’t disrupt. (3/8)

Let’s be real: Beyoncé is a CONCEPTUAL ARTIST in every sense. Every lyric, every instrument, every falsetto, every run—it’s all intentional. She’s not just making music; she’s reclaiming culture, rewriting narratives, and teaching real history through her art. (2/8)

Thoughts before the Grammys:

If Cowboy Carter doesn’t win AOTY tomorrow night, I am officially DONE with the Grammys. And if Beyoncé loses to Taylor Swift? I don’t even know what to tell y’all—except the world is already in dire chaos, so I guess, why not add another travesty to the list? (1/8)

you know your fam is tradish when the Eagle is on the TV screen before commercial during the Eagles vs. Commanders game and your mom reaches out to the Eagle on the screen and starts blessing herself 🦅🏈 #diné #gobirds
